Recent articles about Edinson Cavanien-usParis St-Germain appeal Adrien Rabiot's Champions League yellow cardPSG head coach Unai Emery believes beating Strasbourg at home was integral following his side's defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Neymar and Edinson Cavani led the charge as PSG shook off their midweek defeat at Real Madrid with a 5-2 win over Strasbourg.
PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain have appealed to overturn Adrien Rabiot's yellow card from the first leg of the French capital outfit's Champions League round of 16 clash with Real Madrid last Wednesday, a source close to the Ligue 1 leaders has told ESPN FC.
The France international was booked for a foul on Luka Modric by referee Gianluca Rocchi, who was subsequently criticised heavily by PSG Chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi and coach Unai Emery, despite minimal contact made with the Croat midfield.

PARIS -- Less than one year ago, Edinson Cavani put pen to paper on a lucrative contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain to take him through until the summer of 2020. But despite a glut of goals since then, could the Uruguay international's time at Parc des Princes be coming to an end?
There is certainly growing suspicion in the French capital that Cavani -- who recently overtook former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the club's all-time leading goal scorer -- Kylian Mbappe and Neymar do not...20 Feb 2018 04:39:00 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/soccer/article_external/the_presence_of_neymar_and_mbappe_puts_cavani_39s_psg_future_at_risk/s1_14861_25758992

Neymar's close control in the Strasbourg penalty area puts PSG back in front at the Parc des Princes.
Paris Saint-Germain can still eliminate Real Madrid from this season's Champions League, despite their 3-1 first-leg defeat in their round-of-16 tie last week, according to Barcelona legend Xavi.
PSG conceded two late goals at the Bernabeu last Wednesday to leave them with an uphill task at the Parc des Princes in two weeks' time.
Speaking to So Foot, Xavi stated his belief that coach Unai Emery's men can turn the tie around.
"Real got a bit lucky in the first leg," Xavi said. "However, they...19 Feb 2018 07:41:00 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/soccer/article_external/xavi_backs_psg_to_knock_real_madrid_out_of_champions_league/s1_14861_25745831

Kylian Mbappe will officially become a Paris Saint-Germain player in the summer after the clause to make his loan move from Monaco permanent was activated.
PSG's 5-2 win over Strasbourg on Saturday mathematically ensured that they cannot be relegated from Ligue 1 this season, the trigger for the transfer that, according to ESPN FC sources, is worth €180 million plus bonuses.

PSG beat Strasbourg 5-2 on Saturday to bounce back from their Champions League woe.
Although Paris Saint-Germain's 5-2 win over Strasbourg on Saturday looked a one-sided affair on paper, the reality was that Thierry Laurey's visitors put up a fight and worried the French capital outfit a few times.
Julian Draxler, Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani (two) scored the goals for PSG but Jean Eudes Aholou and Stephane Bahoken found the back of the net for Strasbourg.

PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Lassana Diarra has insisted that he and his teammates are completely behind coach Unai Emery after Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League round of 16 first leg defeat away at Real Madrid.
Speaking with Canal+ after a 5-2 win over Strasbourg at Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 on Saturday, the France international was firm in that the squad is behind the Spaniard after he attracted plenty of criticism for his role in the loss at Santiago Bernabeu.

PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain's habit of missing one of their key attackers in their recent matches will continue in Toulouse on Saturday after Edinson Cavani was ruled out through injury.
The Uruguay international is not in coach Unai Emery's 18-man squad for the Ligue 1 clash and will be joined by Layvin Kurzawa, Thiago Motta and Kevin Trapp in missing out.

But there is a specific goal that puts his timing, movement and powerful striking on full display in the form of a late arriving, one touch blast off a cut back pass like the one he scored against Brazil in the 2018 CONMEBOL qualifiers. That sequence is particularly suited for the current era of transitions and counter attacks as defenders leave pockets of space in that area while they scramble to stop the ball. No striker has exploited the move as effectively as Cavani since this round of World Cup qualifiers. At age 30, Cavani is finally hitting his highest goal scoring form for both club and country. The Brazil goal above added to his CONMEBOL qualification leading nine goal tally for a Uruguay side now guaranteed for at least a playoff round. Cavani’s tally stands above familiar names in Neymar, Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal. Willian reflected last month on the learning curve when transitioning f06 Oct 2017 17:16:01 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/edinson_cavani_finally_receives_his_starring_role/s1_8276_24718802

Some of them realistically have no chance — Cinderella teams from small leagues, such as Azerbaijan’s Qarabag FK, make for great stories but have no realistic chance of winning the competition. In fact, only about a quarter of the teams remaining in the draw look like they might end up realistically winning the trophy in Ukraine next May.Here’s a look at the eight leading contenders to win the competition and call themselves champions of Europe.Atletico MadridThis is not Diego Simeone’s most talented Atleti side, and they were hindered in a big way by a lack of summer additions stemming from a FIFA-imposed transfer ban relating to improper activities involving the signing of under-18 players. As such, this is more or less the same squad that ended up finishing third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona last season.Count Atletico out at your own peril, though, as Simeone has13 Sep 2017 03:29:25 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/eight_teams_that_could_win_the_uefa_champions_league/s1_127_24630858

They were dead and buried.The problem is no one told Barcelona that, so they came out firing and cut the PSG lead to 2-0 before halftime. Then, just minutes into the second half, they had a third.All of a sudden, Barcelona were only down a single goal on aggregate. They had their chance.Only Edinson Cavani snatched it away from them. He scored, not only making the deficit two, but giving PSG an away goal. Barcelona now needed three more goals.Barcelona were dead and buried. Again.And that was still the case in the 88th minute. Two minutes plus stoppage time to score three. It was over.Only ... It started with that gorgeous Neymar free kick. It was amazing, but bound to be forgotten. Who was going to care about a goal from the team that was getting eliminated, after all?But then Neymar scored another on a penalty kick in the first minute of stoppage time. Maybe a comeback was possible?

Cavani needed to come up big with Luis Suarez forced to sit out with a hamstring injury, but he did anything but.
Check out this swing and miss on a great scoring chance early in the match.
But the real choke happened in the 89th minute, when he dribbled by a defender, found himself one on one with the keeper, and somehow shot the ball wide from near the penalty spot. They don’t get much easier than this one, yet Cavani blew it.
This miss will haunt Edinson Cavani for a while… #URUvVEN #MyCopaColors https://t.co/guAI63m3Mg
